The 64×32 RGB LED Matrix Panel with 2.5mm pitch packs 2048 bright RGB LEDs into a compact 160×80mm panel. With the tightest pixel spacing in the 64×32 range, this panel produces sharp, detailed images ideal for close-up indoor viewing.

The panel features two IDC connectors on the back (input and output) for daisy-chaining multiple panels into larger displays. It uses a 1:16 scan rate driven by 12 onboard 16-bit latches. These panels require a high-speed microcontroller with plenty of RAM — an Arduino Uno cannot drive this panel. Use a Raspberry Pi, Arduino Mega, or FPGA-based controller for best results.

Key Features

  • 2.5mm Pixel Pitch – Tightest spacing for sharp detail at close viewing distances
  • 2048 RGB LEDs – 64×32 resolution with full-colour output
  • Wide Viewing Angle – 160° for clear visibility from the side
  • Chainable – IDC input/output connectors allow multiple panels to be daisy-chained
  • 1:16 Scan Rate – 12 onboard 16-bit latches for display driving
  • Pre-White Balanced – Uniform white output with minimal tint when all LEDs are lit
  • 12-bit Colour – 4096 colours achievable on an Arduino Mega at 40% CPU usage

Specifications

  • Pixel Pitch: 2.5mm
  • Resolution: 64×32 (2048 LEDs)
  • Operating Voltage: 5V
  • Power Draw: Up to 4A per panel
  • Data Pins: 13 (6-bit data, 7-bit control)
  • Scan Rate: 1:16
  • Viewing Angle: 160°

Also Available

Ideal For

  • Close-range indoor displays and signage
  • Video walls and tiled display installations
  • FPGA and high-speed controller projects
  • Raspberry Pi or Arduino Mega LED projects

Package Contents

  • 1× 64×32 RGB LED Matrix Panel (2.5mm pitch)
  • 1× IDC cable
  • 1× Power cable
Note: These panels require an external 5V power supply capable of at least 4A per panel. An Arduino Uno does not have sufficient RAM or speed to drive this display — use a Raspberry Pi, Arduino Mega, or FPGA-based controller.

Resources

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
RAM
RAM is temporary memory used while a device is running, and its contents are lost when power is removed. A “Run in RAM” mode is useful for testing settings without permanently programming the module, but it may not support every feature.
RGB
Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
